On July 6, 2024, Sohu published the story of a young man with a bright future. He took the college entrance exam and got the highest grades. He was the pride of his parents and the entire village, but suddenly this man disappeared under mysterious circumstances. Even the parents had to put in a lot of effort to find him. But even after spending all their savings, their mission to find their son for the past nine years has failed.
The last time their son contacted the couple was a text message sent from a strange number in 2009, saying only that “Dad, I’m in Beijing now. I’m fine, don’t worry.” But when the father called. When I came back, someone else answered the phone. He claimed to be a friend of his son and told him to call. He came back again but when the father called. I went back after that and no one answered the phone. Plus the call was dropped.

A couple worried about their son. So they flew to Beijing, China the next day. But they found the house their son was renting. It turned out to be abandoned, and no one else on campus knew where their child was.
His parents continued searching until they ran out of money. So the only thing they could do was go and register him as a missing person at the police station. Before returning to their hometown, they still tried to return to Beijing to find their child five times over nine years.
Even when the mother became seriously ill. There was no longer any strength to pursue his son. So the family decided to cry out in tears to the media. Pleading for his son to come home to mothers who wanted to see their children again before they died. Until it became news that shocked people across the country in 2018.
Finally, the power of social media began to pay off, just two months after news broke that a cancer-stricken mother’s son was being searched for. His son finally got in touch. The family was reunited, and now everyone had an answer. How did the young man disappear? And the truth I learned was just as heartbreaking.
In 2003, Yang Renrong was a bright young man who made his parents proud. By taking the entrance exam to a famous university with the highest scores, he was accepted to study at Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics. Being admitted to a prestigious university is an honor for the family. The happy parents held a grand celebration, inviting the whole village.
At that time, the young man was full of energy and confidence. Because he was the pride of his parents. He was considered a role model for the children in the village, but after studying in Beijing, the real world was not as beautiful as in dreams. He could not keep up with his friends and did not know what the teacher was teaching. So I thought of changing my major. He went to study physics, which was his passion.
It turned out that Yang Renrong was good at physics and loved it. But choosing to study another field will make it easier for you to find a job in the future. When he realized that he couldn’t continue his studies, he went to tell his parents that he was going to change his major, but his parents, who were not well-educated, tried to persuade their son to reconsider. They didn’t understand their son’s difficulties. Finally, the young man felt that changing your major is an admission that your previous decision was wrong. He didn’t want anyone to know about his mistakes.
During his 4 years at university, Yang Ren Rong put in a lot of effort in every test. At first, he was still able to perform well. But as time went on, his grades kept dropping, and he realized that he didn’t have enough ability. At the same time, his parents still believed in their smart son. I didn’t know what happened to my son.
Finally, Yang Renrong was about to graduate. She didn't take the final exam. Although the university warned him several times. He would get a degree when he came to complete the exam, but he chose to drop out and leave the university. He intended to find a job in order to save a lot of money, but because of his status as a person who didn't graduate like him, as a result, there are no big companies accepting jobs, and she has to go into general work, such as waitresses. Salespeople, etc., with the intention that when they earn a lot of money, he returned home again.
It's true that life is very hard. It makes the young man want to go back to his hometown but when he thought of the strange looks he would receive from his neighbors. Including the fear of being disappointed by his parents so he didn't dare to go back. Accepting hardship, working to earn money and never contacting anyone again In total, it's been 9 years since he last contacted his parents.
Until Yang Renrong saw the clip of his parents. He came out and tearfully begged him to come back home. The young man felt very guilty. They agreed to call back the old number of the parents that they still remembered. Then the family arranged to meet at the train station. Before we meet each other again
His mother hugged him with tears. It was a happy moment for the family to be together again. Yang Renrong himself admitted that he felt really guilty. No matter what happened, he should have returned home long ago. From now on, he intended to live with his parents for the rest of his life. Try not to let them face any more difficulties.
